Patented Oct. 9, 1906.

Application filed August 3,1905. Serial No. 272,596.

To all whom it may concern: 7 Be it known that I, CHARLES E. GIERDING, acitizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Newark, inthe State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement inFare-Registers, of which the ollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to those fare-registers in which provision ismade for making a rinted record at the end of each trip to acilitateobtaining with certainty the details of the individual trips forpurposes of comparison and as an additional safeguard against thefailure of conductors to properly register the fares and to set theregister at the end of each trip.

The present invention consists in certain novel combinations of partshereinafter described and claimed.

The leading object of the invention is to provide for settin thecustomary tri -register, to ether wit the direction-in icator, hereinater termed the "trip-indicator, if there be one, at the end of eachtrip, and for unlocking and relocking the re 'sterin mechanism at the'be'n and en of eac settin o eration, an by t e same means to or adjustinga trip-indi cation printing evice and for printing the indications ofthe preceding trip, including the number indicated by one of theregisters or a sufficient portion of such number-indication withoutadding to the labor or responsibility of the conductor.

Other objects are to adjust a set of typewheels simultaneously with theregistration of the fares by a shaft and spurearing connection betweenthe units-whee of the rmanent register and the units-type whee toprovide for adjusting the trip indication printing devlce simultaneouslywith the setting of the trip-indicator by a simple lostmotion connectionbetween the two, to provide for the printing movement by a cam carriedby the main setting-shaft, to adapt the same shaft to support arotaplaten or record-strip drum, to actuate this drum by motion transmittedfrom said main-settingshaft through Geneva stop-wheels and spurgearing,and to operate the trip-indicator and trip-indication printin device insuch a way as to hold them steadi y in their respective positions ofrest.

Three sheets of drawings specification as art thereof.

Figures 1 an 2 are respectively side and accompany this I the improvedregister includ- I ing its hanging back. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sideview, on a larger scale, of the regis ter pro er with theprinting-device door open. ig. 4 is a face view on the same scale asFig. 3 with the front part of the registercasing and dial-plate omittedand the recordstrip drum in section, showing a cross-section of therecord-strip. Fig. 5 represents a face view of the record-strip removedand flattened. Fig. 6 is a sectional side view of the register, or somuch thereof as is shown in Fig. 4, minus the record-strip drum, withthe printing device in the foreground. Fig. 7 is a like view from thesame side with some additional parts, including the type-wheels andtheir frame, omitted so as to expose to view parts behind, and with thetrip-indicator and trip-indication Iinting device in their oppositeositions oi rest, one of the omitte parts eing represented in dottedoutline and Fig. 8 is a view of the record strip drum detached, showingits inner end. Like reference characters refer to like parts in all thefi ures. The specific are-register represented by the drawings includesa Figs. 1 and 2-, supporting primary actuating mechanism (represented bylevers 1 and 2 in Fi 1 and 2) and the register roper, (shown at? inFigs. 1 and 2,) detacha ly fastened to said hanging back and containingsecondary actuating mechanism, represented by its retracting-spring,spring-lever, and main slide at 3, 4, and 5, respectively, in Fi 6 and7.

The register proper, to which igs. 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are confined,further contains a trip-register, of the numeral-wheel type,(represented at a,) a permanent re 'ster of that type, (represented atb,) an a set of type-wheelie, all three having horizontal axes and allofthem simultaneousl actuated step by step-by said actuatingmecanisminthere istering operation. A suitable bell mechanlsm, the bell ofI front views of customary, by the same actuating mechanism. As thedetails of said actuating mechanism and said bell mechanism form no partof the present invention, further description thereof in the presentspecification is deemed unnecessary and isomltted.

I The improved'register also preferably and conveniently contains anactuation-indicator e, movable with the trip-register wheels and whichis shown at d in Fig. 4, is actuated dur- "ingthe registration of eachfare or unit, as is hanging I back A,

preferably and conveniently llO v ex osed to view during eachregistering oper- I ation so as. to indicate the fact ifthis operation-is not completed; also a trip-indicator f, movable on aahorizontalaxisto expose the indications 'In' and Out 'or likealternatingrindications-at the ends of the respective tnpsg, Suchindications, and those of the trip-register and permanent register b,re-! spectively, are exposedzto view throu h horizontalsi ht-opemngs6,77, and 8 in t e dial-r plate 9, ig 2, behind the glass front plate h,which, together with two circular. main parts 'i ofthe and a side doork, inclose all the partshereinreferred to as within the registerproper.Saidmain parts i and j are respectively by-preference,'a suitable'hollow"casting i,fo1"ming aback 'late. and one-half,

The-setting mechanism actuated by saidkey Zis characterized by a horizontal a and is normally stationary,being rotated in the setting operation'by turninglsaid key to bring the{zero-mark (0) of. eac of-the trip 7 re 'ster numeral-wheels behindtheir. window 7 in the dial-pllate g, Fig. 2, at the end of each; trip.This s aft is also" preferably andconveniently extended longitudinallysoas to su port the bell d at its right-hand end and at its left-handendto support a rotary platen the units-wheel of said set of type-wheelsc,

which are thus made to rotate synchronously 1 with thecorrespondingwheels v of the permanent register b in'the register in ,v-loperations'.

The shaftl-Z offsaid type-whee s c is'loose;

with reference man of them and iis rprovided' on its inner "end jwith atwo armed lever or;

and a front'part of sheet metal, inter-I locked'withsaidback part'by' baonet-joints, 1

Preferably itcarries one, of said indicationsIn, for exampleand 'arallel therewiththe serial number of the in ividual register 1678, .so as to print" thisnumber in-' stead of the alternating trip-indication Out and thus toobviate p'rintingboth in order to identi therecord with the individualregister ma 'ng the same} Said'shaft 17'of the type-wheels criand-apa'rallelshaft 19, supportingthe pinions 20 and 21 ofspur-gearingngmechanism, are mounted in :a'vert1-" cally-slidable frame q, that isattached to the x -.left-hand-fr amepiece n by guide-screws 22 -and 23,extending through longitudinal slots in the slidable. frame.- This typ 1frame is normally held in its lowermost position y gravity and by thetension-ofa r'e- 1 J tracting-spring 1'. ,It is'mo'ved upwardly in thepp'nting operationby a cam 24, carried 7 by said horizontalsetting-shaft'13 and em- 99 type-wheel rame g; This yoke 25 i's 'con-' V braced by aoke 25at the upper end of the veniently made integral with the body ofthe 'frame, as shown, and at thesame time ad- V justable to regulate thei'mpression on the I record-slip 8' bysuitably shaping theframe 'andproviding the same wlth a horizontal slit 126,. crossed by anadjusting-screw-27. (See Fig.6.) The type-wheel shaft '17 is turned onits axis to adjust'said type-block p for the printingoperation-inthe actof set-" io'c ting the trip-register. a and trip-indicator f 1 for thenext tripv by the following means; The left hand extension of saidhorizontal setting-shaft 13 carries a pinion or small spur- 1 wheel 28,in mesh with a spur-wheel 29 of g twice its diameter, and the latter isprovided with a cranks-pin 30, that projects, together shaped ovalopening 32in a lever t, thatis with the head of astud-screw31,formingthe' j r ,7

shaft of said spur-wheel, througha suitably I i to, movable on ahorizontal pivot-33.1 near the f back of the register and at its frontend is coupled by a in-and-slot connection 34 with 7' coupled toa-crank-arm 35, fast on the rockries a stud-pin 37-"to interact-withsaid twoarmed cam 18 on the type-wheel shaft 17. The play'ofthisend ofsaid connecting-bar u is suitably limited by ascrew38, attaching it tothe adj acent frame-plate n and embraced by a ldngitudinal slot in thebar. The

construction and arrangement of these parts is suchw that when thetrip-indicator f is ,moved to expose its indication I In, "thetype-;-bloek pismoved so as to bring'its correspond-I- ing type-face '5 In,:.=into. line with the print-j t pe wheels 1c; andf when the'.;tripindicatorisfmoved so asi to' 'ing type-faces of the a connectmgaru, the upper end of which is 7 r shaft 36, that carries thetrip-indicator f, 7 while the lowerend of the connecting-bar car exposeits indication Out said type-block p is moved so as to bring t eregister-number 168 into line with said printing type-faces of thetype-wheels. The trip-indication typeblock p is thus adjusted at the endof each printing operation pre aratory to the next rinting operation.aid spur wheel 29 fhrther carries on its outer face the drivin member ofGeneva stop-gearing 39 39', by

which rotary motion is transmitted intermittently to a pinion 40, inmesh with a spurwheel 41, carried by the record-strip drum m,

creased or reduced .to the numeral-wheels of the permanent reg- .ister bthe trip-indications printed by the type-block glmay be identical withthose of t e 'n manent register and a set 0 like modifications willactuating mechanism,

within the latter and concentric with the setting-shaft 13. By thismeans the recordstnp a is advanced one space after each printingoperation in the act of setting the tripre ter a and trip-indicator fandwithout at all d omplicating the mechanism. The record-trip drum m isheld in place on the setting-shaft 13 by a rigid inwardl -proer 42 onthe doork, which oor is ut and is secured in its closed position by itssaid lock 12. When'opened, the door exposes the record-stri .drum, as inFig. 3, so that it may be re y withdrawn by grasping its hub 43 fromwithinthe register. he record-strip s is preferably and convenienty madeof the shape represented by Fig.

5, with itsends 44 reduced in width by notches rovide for holding thestrip in means of its ends 45, so as to placearoun the drum 44,extending inwardl ough a slit 46 in the periphery of the without cuttisuch slit entirely through the periphery, an thus making the ,drumliable to get out of shape. The unbroken side or inner end of the isshown in Fig. 8.

The type-wheels 0 may obviously be inin number with reference trip catorf, if preferred, and other suggest themselves to those skilled in theart.
